I was always attracted to science fiction movies

I've never bothered about my color.

I'm self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream - to have class.

So when it came to role models, I looked at presidents' wives. Of course, you're talking about a farm girl who stood in the fields, dreaming, years ago, wishing she was that kind of person. But if I had been that kind of person, do you think I could sing with the emotions I do? You sing with those emotions because you've had pain in your heart.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

What's love got to do with it?

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
